In “Some Images May Be Disturbing,” Houston-based artist Chris Bexar looks to examine the dynamic relationship between the virtual and physical landscapes. In our digital environment, there is a fractal relationship between tiny and enormous structures. Everything looks the same. Blow up the components of a PC, and they look like the Houston skyline. Take an aerial photo of the Metropolis, and it looks like the guts of your iPhone.
By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, Bexar focuses on the idea of virtual space and more specifically on spaces where anyone can do anything at any given moment. His photos establish a link between the landscape's reality and that imagined by its conceiver. His works focus on questions that determine our existence.
These meticulously planned works resound and resonate with images culled from the fantastical realm of imagination. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
The exhibition will remain on display through April 29.
